NON-REFILLABLE B OTTLE.

SIPECIFICATION forming part of Letters '.Patent No. "761,292, dated May'31,1904.

Appiicauonrued November 19,1903. serai No. 181,770. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAo I. FONDA, of Bev- 3 erly, in the county ofEssex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Non- Refillable Bottles# of which the following is aspecification, ref-f' t erence being had therein to the accompanying 1drawings. l

The invention has reference to improve-i ments in non-reillable bottles,so called. l The main object of the invention is to so@ construct abottle that while the liquid vcon- .tents may readily be removed fromthe botl tle the refilling of the bottle is rendered iml possible orimpracticable. l

The object of the invention is also to so conl struct a bottle of thisnature provided with Avalve and a protector for said valve that theshowing the valve and its seat, the valve keeper or protector, andindicating thevv means lwhereby the valve-protector is secured in .po- Isition. Fig. 2 represents a plan View of portions of the same.

Similar numbers of reference designate cor' 'responding partsthroughout.

As illustrated in the drawings, in i its preferred form' this inventioncomprises a bottle-or jar 5 of any desired shape and dimensions andfurnished with aneck 6 and a compartment 7 larger than the neck, theouter and inner surfaces of which compartmentdiffer considerably inconformation.

rI`he upper inner surface of the compartment7 has the inwardly-beveledannular lip 8, which extends to the annular groove 9, which in turnforms the upper limit of the tapering ground-seat 10. Below this seat 10is the annular enlargement l1, having the .shoulder 12 and the morecontracted portion 13, which embraces the wall or extension 14,

tension to the liquid-delivery channel in the 'in such compartment theannular groove 9,

with the beveled lip 8, will form an entrance to the annular channelformed by the combined grooves 9 and 18. In the lower portion of thebody 17 are formed the peripheral grooves 19 19, which extend to the end2() of said body. l l Y Axially disposed in the body of the Valve keeperand protector and open at'its upper end to receive a stopper is thetapering socket 21, which extends to the line 22, considerably vbelowthe upper ends of the channels 19 19, and through the material of thisportion of the body are formed the channels 23 23, lo-

cated above the line 22 of the socket 21 and connecting said socket-with the upper ends of the channels 19.

In the bore or channel of theneck 6 is movably mounted the valve-stem24:, having the ribs 25 25, between whichthe body of the stem is shapedto permit the flow of liquid. At the upper end of this stern 24 is theinverted conical valve 26, adapted to seat itself in the valveseat 15and having the concave uppersurface 27, furnished with the roundedprojection 28, axially disposed in said concavity. Attention is calledinthis preferred form of Valve to the dimensions of the conical valve26, the extreme diameter of its upper portion being greater than thedistance between the inner walls vof the channels 19, whereby a portionof theliquid passing down through said channels will be directed intothe concavity 27, and the pressure of such entering liquid will tend topress the Valve against its seat. The projection 28 is designed toprevent the intimate and complete contact of the edge portionof thevalve with the end 2O of the valve keeper and protector when the bottleis reversed and forms a bearing on which the valve may rock when said"projection is brought against this end 20. After the filling of thisbottle the valve is rst placed in position, as shown, and 100 having thevalve-seat 15 and forming an exthe valve keeper and protector is thenseated in its seat 10, the grooves 9 and 18 thus registering to form ananchorage for fluid cement, which is introduced therein through theentrance formed by the bevel of the lip 8. A cork or other stopper isinserted in the open end of the socket 21 at any convenient point in theoperation. When the stopper in socket 21 is removed, the contents of thebottle may be poured out by tipping the bottle in the usual manner, theliquid passing between the ribs 25 25 of the valve-stem and the conicalvalve being removed from its seat by the pressure of the liquid and bygravity until the projection 28 of the valve contacts with the end 2()of the keeper. In this movement of the valve the undue tipping thereoflis prevented by the ribs 25 working against the wall of the channel inthe bottle-neck. Upon bringing the bottle to'upright position the valvewill seat itself in its valve-seat.

Liquid contained in the bottle is free to pass outward through thechannels 19 19 and 23 23 and through the socket 21; but if it is soughtto introduce liquid into the bottle theV liquid passing in through thesocket and through the channels 23 23 and 19 will press against theconcave surface 27 of the valve and tend to close the same.

The insertion of implements for holding the valve open during therefilling of the bottle is prevented by the construction of the valvekeeper and protector and bythe construction of the compartment 7.

The insertion of an implement of a iiexible nature through socket 2linto the channels 23 is made dilicult by depressing the bottomvtercepted by the wall 14 and will be prevented thereby from enteringbetween the valve and its seat.

While I have herein shown and described a particular form of valve, I donot desire to limit myself thereto, as it is evident that other formsmight be utilized without materially departing from the spirit of thisinvention. g y

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. The combination with a bottle-neck having aninclined wall contracting the inner diameter of the neck toward itslower end, an internal annular enlargement between said inclined walland the lowerend of said neck and an annular wall embracing the outletfrom the bottle and extending into said enlargement, of a valve adaptedto seat itself in said annular wall, and a valve-keeper seated in theinclined wall of the neck and having side chan nels which extend towardthat portion of the enlargement outside the annular wall.

2. The combination with a bottle-neck having a contracted channelconnecting with the bottle, an annular wall extending from said channelto form a valve-seat, a compartment embracing said wall and contractingin diameter above said wall to form an annular shoulder, and a taperingseat above said shoulder, of avalve-keeper adapted to lit said taperingseat and having a tapering stopper-socket, and having longitudinalperipheral channels and having radial channels connecting saidstopper-socket with said peripheral channels, and a conical valve 26having a dished top, furnished with an axial projection` and a stemadapted to work in the contracted channel of the bottle, as and for thepurpose described.

In testimony whereof I atx my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ISAAC I. FONDA.
